I do first half in his crib and second half with me. When I put lo to bed at night I have the energy to soothe him and put him to sleep everytime he wakes up but after the 4 am feed when hecontinuously wakes up crying that he isn't being held I give in and bring him to bed with me. I'm trying to get him to nap in his crib but I'm lucky if he gives me one 20 min nap in his crib a day. Lo is 16 weeks.

My son goes to his co-sleeper crib when first put to bed. When he wakes up (usually between 4-6) I'll keep him in the bed with me afterwards, but sometimes his daddy will get up and feed him a pumped bottle and he'll go back to his crib.

My LO sleeps so much better and for longer when we co sleep but I don't do it often because it makes me too nervous that something will happen to him. He's 6 weeks old right now. I want to so bad so we can all get sleep but I ultimately stay awake making sure he's doing ok!

We bed share and have since day one. LO will be one in feb! It was just the natural thing for us to do. We love it. Especially because he wakes up so happy every morning. I can't imagine it any other way. He will sleep with us until he is ready to transition to a toddler bed.

We do. Well- not really a baby anymore. Little man is almost two and laying by me as I type. Another one on his way here soon. We tried transitioning to his crib in the room with us but no such luck. He likes his bedtime routine in it then hops right on in with us. I used to stress about it thinking I NEEDED to get him used to it- now I am just like 'eh we will cross that bridge when we get there'. For all I know this next one will like his bassinet anyways. I just can't make LO CIO or suck it up without it being truly needed. :-) Tantrums are one thing but wanting to cuddle mommy and daddy...nope. Breaks my heart.

My son co slept with us (he never latched) and has never left our bed!!!! He is three years old and still has to be right next to me all night!!!!!! He also wakes up 2-3 times a night (to talk, to see his sister, to potty, etc...) I'm in dire need of a good nights sleep. Because he has never left our bed, my husband and I did not cosleept with out bf daughter who is 7 months. She sleeps in a bassinet at the end of our bed. I love having our babies close but feel that cosleeping started a sleep nightmare for my family. I personally would never cosleep with a child again because they don't always make it back in their bed easily. He will be 4 in a few months and I honestly don't know when he will make it into his own bed.

@lizzie thanks for sharing the downside of bedsharing. I'm currently trying to transition my one yr old back to his crib. It's becoming a safety issue now that he's mobile. Unless I go to bed with him it's too dangerous to leave him alone in our bed.

Before I had a baby I was against co sleeping lol but at 3 months we started to because my son wouldn't sleep in his crib and wanted to be held all night. We just transitioned him out of our bed when he was 10.5 months (I found it easier as he got older). I just say do whatever works for your family. I did enjoy cuddling him and do miss it but I am getting better sleep and at this point he is too.

I know what you mean about safety. Our bed is very high. I have to have a stepladder to get in it when I'm pregnant. If we had our baby, my son, my hubby, and I all in a queen size bed that was high up from the ground someone would be falling off.

My LO sleeps in her rock n play next to the bed and I bf her in bed and usually let her lay with me until she's sized off the no out her back in her rock m play when she was being breast dead in the rocking chair she would fall asleep but then wake up as soon as i put her down

Just my opinion, but we have always put DS down in his own crib then bring him to bed with me when he wakes between 6&7 so we can have cuddle time. Kiddo is comfy in his crib, he gets cuddle time, and momma and daddy get couple time. I've had a number of friends get divorced because they never had any alone time together. I treasure our time in the evenings and I'm so happy I started putting kiddo in his crib right away. Also, I've noticed he wakes more when he is next to me as he smells my milk and starts rooting around even though he is def not a newborn anymore.

I use an arm's reach cosleeper. He sometimes ends up staying in bed because I fall asleep burping him, but for the most part, he stays in the cosleeper at night. We will transition him to crib between 3-5 months. Like pp said, I value my hubs time. This way, I feel like I get the best of both worlds.
